Board 8 » Saturday March 5th, 9:00 PM EST, Smash Ultimate Tournament Number FOUR
Sorry for the late topic, been extremely busy. As always, $15 to the winner. Ermine won the last one, his second victory over all with a thrilling win against Koopas. Hopefully we can get more people for this one and avoid the Round Robin format, even though I kind of liked it.

In.

Petition to replace Yoshi's Story with Lylat Cruise. :)

I will ban Lylat every single time because it is a trash stage.

I might add Lylat anyway just for pure chaos

Every single one of my projectiles does not function on that stage.

I'm sure Bowser Jrs work just beautifully tho.

we need to add a stage that wrecks all projectiles except shadow flare >:)

I always hated Lylat Cruise TBH. Like since its debut in Brawl.

Something with thin vertical walls or background objects that projectiles connect with like... Wrecking Crew? Sounds great for a 1v1 tournament.

I get to actually play in the Coinbox today.

Looks like my R1 is against a ROB player. Stingers you around today for some practice? Haha.

I know I have to DI those up-airs just right.

Fucking figures.

Give me some advice, dawg.

Rob is on the slower end and doesn't have great disjoints, so you have the advantage spacing him out. You want to hold center stage and pressure him towards the ledge so he doesn't have room to run back gyro. If he jumps to try and escape corner pressure he's vulnerable to juggling, just be on the ball so you don't get caught with FF nair. Don't bother trying to edgeguard when you get him offstage, just ledge trap and hold stage positioning. Trying to corner Rob is your win condition. He can press advantage and edgeguard you better than you can do to him, so you need to do your best to keep him trapped and scared to leave the corner, and push your juggling situations as far as you can.
Congrats Black Turtle !

I like all of this. It jives with this Ned set I'm watching right now. He doesn't go off-stage at all and just tries to trap him when he tries to recover. I really need to practice my ledge down-airs for those ROBs who like to hang out and take forever grabbing the ledge. I am VERY BAD at hitting those.

Also I need to fucking not neutral B AT ALL or I'm gonna eat it from the reflector he has.

When I get shadow flare on him do I want to get really aggressive?
"undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS
Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505
Sure you can run up and threaten grab them. Generally you just want to position at sword length and go for shield pokes but if you're forcing him to hold shield with your side B you might as well take advantage
Congrats Black Turtle !
Word. Thanks for the advice. I may stream my run tonight if anyone's interested in giving a watch.

Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505
And going for ledge dairs is the exact opposite of what you should do. That's what I was trying to say before lol. A good rob will hold jump and mixup their low recovery to punish you for going for that, you have less ability to vary your timings than they do. That's why you just control the space right by the ledge so they have no recourse to get back on. If you commit to a dair you're ruining your positional advantage
Congrats Black Turtle !
Okay good to hear because I hate trying that option anyway I am never confident in it and I think I've hit it a grand total of two times ever

Probably won't get there, but if I can win two matches in winner's I'll get a shot at losing horribly to ApolloKage

Not gonna stream tonight's run. I'm feeling really shitty so I don't think I'd wanna get my brains beat in on camera lol
"undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS
Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505
First opponent DQ'd. Second one doesn't look like they're here either. ApolloKage match might happen.

The enthusiasm for these tourneys seems like it's dipped a bit.

I got beat 2-1 by a K. Rool player, and ApolloKage didn't show for the tourney anyway.

Up 1-0 on a Hero player rn

hate Hero so much. 2-0'd him though.

Facing a Cloud next.

UGH. I absolutely threw in game 1 against him and then he got me twice early in game 2 and I couldn't recover.

2-2 seems to be about my ceiling. We gotta raise that a bit.

Honestly I prefer Round Robin to tournament, so that's fine by me.

Trying to mental run through my ongoing crisis...let me type it out and see if it helps.

Shulk
Pros:
-My strongest character when I'm playing at my best
-Has few bad matchups
Cons:
-Inconsistent
-Options become more limited once people learn his Nair/Fair spacing

Ike
Pros:
-My most consistent character
-Have been using him since Brawl, lots of experience
Cons:
-Struggles against people who know how to play against him
-Some truly awful matchups

Robin
Pros:
-Overall I just vibe with him
-Works well against melee-heavy opponents
Cons:
-Straight-up not a good character overall
-Does very poorly against projectiles

Sora
Pros:
-Won't SD when you lag buffer an airdodge offstage
-Strong midrange zoning
Cons:
-Less experience with him
-Gets blown up by people with heavy attacks

I've also been trying to make Chrom and Joker work to not much success.

What character can I apply my Elden Ring playtime to? I'm thinking Shulk, maybe Cloud, but eh.

I'm in a Smash tournament at 1PM today. I am gonna try to stream my run.

Also since I'm off work today we should start on time for once!

I've been playing MultiVersus test so if I'm bad today it's because I'm used to that game's mechanics!

It's also hella fun.
